Not a bad day to live on the coast✌️ Earlier this week I was getting constant snaps ...

... from a friend visiting Paris for a week. I have to admit it made me miss life in big city for a while seeing images of the gorgeous city architecture and loads of of "food porn".

Then the afternoon came, and I went to the coastal area in walking distance from where I now live and had 15km (about 10miles) of views just like this. Didn't take long to remember how much I missed having all of this nearby, as well as the clean air and free/open space during my time in the polluted and overcrowded capital.

A good reminder that there are always trade-offs and no places that simply have it all. You get some, you lose some. So better enjoy what you've got!

Hope you've all had a nice weekend:)

Beautiful, tranquil scene...

I, fully, agree about trade-offs. Living in Florida, not exactly the most cultural place, I'm 5 min away from the beach and have great weather.

Best part is, one does not have to be stuck in one place, all year round. During the summers, my wife and I travel up to MD to visit in-laws & frequently visit Colombia, too (so, I'm lucky that way).

Hope you're enjoying your Sunday, where you are :)

I totally get that! Spent 3 months near Cape Canaveral, Florida back in 2012 when I stayed at NASA KSC during my time at the International Space University! Loved it and the beach, but coming home to the Norwegian fjords then felt like seeing them for the first time ever! Stark contrast of climate and landscape (seriously, Florida is so flat!!)

Far out... International Space University! If you're ever back in FL, let me know and maybe we can meet up :)

Would love to visit Norway in the future; who knows, I might get invited to a literary festival, one fine day...

Yes, that is one of the (unexpected) advantages of travel, returning with an increased appreciation for Home!

That’s an amazing shot. Looks magical. Have a wonderful week.

Thanks! It was hard to pick the one I liked the most. Such a great day for taking pictures!

I agree gotta love the coast... Looks serene and I'm jelly like a bean lol 😆 have a good if you know what I mean... Be well
